IMPROVEMENT IN BELLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 141,888, dated August 19, 1873 application filed November 25, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM PILOHER, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bellows, of which the following is a full description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view, and Fig. 2 a vertical section on line a.

My invention is designed, chiefly, to be applied to bellows for organs. It is customary to place brick, pieces of stones, or other heavy articles upon the top of bellows of organs to give the necessary weight. Some portion of In an oblong bellows two of these receptacles may be used-one in each endone of which is represented as open in Fig. 1, the other is closed by the cover C. As represented in Fig. 2, this receptacle is made tight and permanently connected to the top A of the bellows. The receptacle might be'suspended'from the top of the bellows without being tightly fitted thereto, and one or more receptacles may be used, as may be desired, suitable openings being provided in the top A through which to introduce the weights, which openings, after the bellows has been properly weighted,

should be carefully closed by suitable covers C. It is evident that the weights might be OFFICE.
